My Involvement with AYV

I am currently working with American India foundation, a not for profit organization as DE Program Coordinator. AIF is currently implementing its flagship ‘DIGITAL EQUALIZER’ program in about 650 school in 13 Indian states and Akshay Pratishthan & Chetram Sharma Kanya Inter College are two of them.

In short, DE Program builds the capacity of the teachers, students and over all school to judiciously make use of ICT/ Computers in teaching-learning process and in-school administrative tasks. The 3T's that form the cornerstone of the DE program are - Technology: Hardware Infrastructure; Tools: Software, internet and learning tools and Training: Student, teacher and school administration.

Adobe Systems is also a partner with AIF in implementing the AIF-DE program in two schools, one in Noida and another in Bangalore.

iEARN, another not for profit organization is the implementation partner for Adobe Youth Voices program and is also a partner in AIF-DE Program and works with students and teachers of DE centers (schools).

All of the above have many common threads running across – one of which is me. Being a part of AYV program provides me an opportunity to learn how media enables youth from the under served communities & schools to think creatively, communicate effectively and work collaboratively.
